An Interesting Piece of Garbage
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just like any TWS earbuds Bose been made in recent years, it's an interesting piece of industrial garbage. It's perfect set of sports earbuds with a perfect usage scenario when you sitting indoor under a quite atmosphere. Ah, no need to mention the small issues like no ANC, volume extremely low and not for people with big ears, those are harmless small problems that not worth mention.

Posted .Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. By design, Ultra Open earbuds do not block out the world or have noise cancellation. However, they do feature an automatic volume control feature which will help you hear music evenly as your environment changes around you. In addition, proprietary Bose OpenAudio technology allows the earbuds to play rich, immersive audio privately. The buds are designed to fit all; the light-as-air flex arm provides enough grip to keep the buds secure on any size ear. They're even designed to attach to a part of the ear that does not interfere with most glasses, hats, and piercings!

This product has clarity and comfort. Bad Mic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I feel this is mainly for joggers and people outdoors that need to pay attention to their surroundings. Not design to talk to people on the phone because it has the worst ever microphone quality like way below -3 star.

Bad sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.for these beings Bose. I did not like the sound quality. I feel they could have made this much better. I do like the way it fits and does not move from my ear, But I had to return these because I do not compare to an Airpod.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would not recommended, i bought these as a gift for my brother and while testing them he turned some music on low and i could hear it sitting 5 feet away from him. I get these are better for your ears but you dont want others hearing your conversation or music
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose Support
Posted .I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Ultra Open Earbuds, given that you can hear some of your brother's music. The Ultra Open Earbuds feature Bose's OpenAudio technology, which directs rich, deep audio into the customer's ear canal while minimizing sound spillage in other directions. In most environments and at most listening levels, people around the user won’t hear anything. In a very quiet environment, others may hear that something is playing, but they shouldn't be able to hear any detail unless they get up close. If you suspect your brother's earbuds might be spilling too much sound, please contact our support team for further assistance: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

Not what I expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If they had been $100 they would have been okay but for $300 I did not like the experience the sound quality was not there they weren't that comfortable and on top of it if you had enough outdoor noise they were almost useless I'll stick to one ear bud in an ear instead

Good earbuds good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are really nice and the color is really nice.
I would recommend this to a friendNothing I liked about them.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sit awkwardly on your ears. No amount of adjusting helped. This causes the sound to not properly get to your ear. The audio quality was that of something far cheaper. I usually love Bose products but they have seemed to gradually go down in quality with each new item.

I would recommend this to a friendOver priced.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Without a doubt not worth the money. The sound quality and loudness were aweful. Conversations over the phone using these ear buds were terrible anyone I talked to could barely hear me and I couldn’t hear them.
